Mehso-so

Here we go again...Batman and his allies against a force that's convinced violence is the answer. More death, more manipulation. Though this combatant as the lead of a new antagonistic team seems nostalgically traditional compared to Injustice Superman. We'll see how things unfold!

All thanks go to Panda Redd (and my library's hoopla subscription) for coming in clutch with a superbly timed video to let my cluelessness know that Injustice: Gods Among Us isn't just a prequel to a video game, it's just the FIRST set of graphic novels in this series. Makes so much more sense. Not even Storygraph's series linkages saved me from ignorance this time. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Well that was DARK. It was also an incredibly compelling read. Naturally, seeing how Superman and Wonder Woman are characterized is unsettling, and the heartbreaking losses just confirm this as a nightmarish 'what if', but what surprised me was the hope, the funny parts, and how much time Harley Quinn got on the page. Those surprises are why I still want to continue in the series. Art preference per issue varied, will see what comes next. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This was a quick read for me. I enjoyed it. My brother got me into graphic novels. I loved the characters and the plot of the book. The art work was amazing. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

I blew through this recently concluded DC alternate universe story where a bio/tech virus infects Earth. Lots of world and universe hopping, ridiculous power combinations, and a hell of a lot of fun! I'm not super familiar with the New Gods, but there was enough variety that the occasional obscure character didn't make the story any less accessible. #scarathlon

A masterpiece. The questions wrestled with, the stakes at hand, the ART. I'm sure if I had a better handle on the DC line up, I would have grasped a lot more of the cameos from various characters, but, a story that primarily focuses on the big three, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, is easy entry for an intermittent comics enthusiast like myself. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality I often find myself feeling disconnected from heroes with superpowers, leaning more towards humans with skills (Batman, Hawkeye, Iron Man), so the 'humans v. gods' quandary set up as a major theme felt like it to got to the heart of what usually narrows my focus or disrupts my interest in superheroes. 2/? 1y
Robotswithpersonality And the one year later section? Yes, please! 😁 Because the other thing that tends to turn me off comics, particularly those featuring Batman, is how unrelentingly dark they can be. 3/4 1y
Robotswithpersonality Just, one question, re: The Spectre:
If you're going to spend every instance of depiction finagling a way to cover the dude's junk, WHY design a character nude with an open front cape?! 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do comic book artists enjoy the challenge or curse the character's existence? 4/4
